Crop first, greenhouse second

The right order of decisions matters: choose your greenhouse crops and market before you choose your greenhouse. The crop determines the cultivation system — soil beds, high-wire gutters or suspended strawberry gutters — and with it the series and options that will earn their money back.

Two more factors shape the choice. First, your market: snacking formats and premium punnets pay more per kilo but demand more labor and tighter grading, while volume formats reward scale and logistics. Second, your climate: light sums, summer heat and winter cold decide whether screens, growlights or HortiCoolers belong in the configuration — our free climate report shows what your location supports before you commit to a crop plan.

And because every GrowPro greenhouse ships with Guided Growing, the cultivation knowledge for your chosen crop is part of the package — not something you need to bring on day one.
